The sentence: 'You built a formula 1 race car and tossed the keys to kids'

Suggests he doesn't even comprehend that curl amounts to 'instructions to copy data'

And Formula 1 cars don’t have keys...

The analogy to Formula 1 isn't apt either. It can be the wheel, the engine or the steer. But it's no way a whole "car".

A better analogy is a screwdriver. He made a screwdriver. Screwdrivers have millions of legitimate and essential uses. How would you build anything without one? But a criminal could also use the screwdriver to open stuff he's not supposed to. Blaming the screwdriver manufacturer for that is pointless.

The guy is unhinged but he was clearly making an analogy.
